Keeping Girls in Sport: The Barriers + Why We Need to Break Them Down
Welcome to Strong Girl Talk, where we dive into the latest in sports science, performance, and well-being—all with a focus on women and girls in sport. Each episode, we take a deep dive into the research, the challenges, and the opportunities that impact female athletes. This week is the last week about Women’s History Month and we dive into removing barriers for girls and women in sport.
If you’re in Ontario, join us May 31 and June 1 to launch Shred Girls: Lindsay and the Curse of Gemini Lakes! Info here
We chatted about the Canadian Women and Sports’ 2024 Rally Report back on the first episode, which is also where you’ll find the links. Same with the ASICS Move Her Mind Report.
Kirsty Elliot-Sale (twitter)is a Professor of Female Endocrinology and Exercise Physiology at the Manchester Metropolitan University where she is the Head of Centre of Excellence for Women in Sport. She was featured on The Game Changers, a Fearless Women’s podcast (because yes, of course, we lift up other women), chatting about her career trajectory and her work in the menstrual cycle and how it effects performance (PS - we don’t currently have enough evidence to say whether or not it impacts training, meaning you can set a record anywhere in your cycle!)
Bras for Girls was founded by Oiselle in 2017 through a confluence of ideas, needs, and product circumstances. Their work was inspired by the University of Portsmouth’s Research Group in Breast Health (STG totally needs to have someone from their lab on the pod!).
The Women’s Sports Foundation was founded by Billie Jean King in 1974, two years after Title IX was established. This infographic is a great summary of the Play to Lead Work that Youth Sports Fuel Women’s Leadership. Sasha really wants to do this work in Canada, so if you’d like to partner on the research please reach out.
Do you want to take the Keeping Girls in Sport Programming from Canadian Tire’s Jumpstart? Let us know what you think of it. What resources are missing that we can provide you with.

* Sole Girls
